"LIVE IT UP"Officer John Larivee reported he went to Haxton’s Liquors on Bald Hill Road on April 21 to view a video of a West Warwick woman concealing several bottles of liquor in her purse before leaving the store without paying for them. The manager of the store said he saw the woman come in the store earlier but that she went to a part of the store where he could not see her and then left the store as her companion paid for an 18-pack of beer. The manager said he didn’t know what she took until he reviewed the video and saw her put two bottles in her purse before a glitch on the video obscured part of what she was doing. Larivee said he looked at the video and clearly saw a woman wearing a T-shirt that said “Live it up” putting the bottles in her purse. He also viewed video of the parking lot and traced the license plate on the car to 87 Maple Ave. in West Warwick. He said he and West Warwick police went to that address and saw three women in the yard, one of which was wearing the pink “Live it up” T-shirt. He said the woman told him she didn’t know what he was talking about until he informed her that Haxton’s “has a very good video surveillance system.” He said the woman then said that she would give him a statement admitting the theft if she could be released the same night. Larivee said she would have to wait for the Bail Commissioner because she was on probation and also out on bail for another charge. Danielle L. Delquaglio, 29, was later released on $1,000 surety bail and told not to go to Haxton’s or she would be arrested for trespassing.
